With just about 20 years of riding experience, acquiring my snowboard instructor certification, and sharing my expertise with riders alike, I am stoked and blessed to have truly found my forte! I started shredding when I was just 7 years old and I never feel more alive than when I am out there on the slopes!

New to the game @ 44!
Dad of four boys and wanted to try something we can all do together. Rented this past weekend over a few lessons. Needed direction on everything from board size to bindings & boots…something that would work well with our weather & that would help me just cruise the slopes with the boys as I get better and more comfortable. Ryan got me in a set up that I feel is appropriate & priced well w/in my budget. Did we just become best friends…yup! Thanks Ryan. 🤘🏻

Hands down 10/10 would recommend if you need info or help!
Definitely knew what he was talking about to find me the right board and bindings that I was looking for and gave me plenty of options to choose from. Always was patient and made sure that I was comfortable when purchasing any of my products. Definitely gonna shop with Ryan again if I got any questions or get more gear for the slopes!!

Ryan was my friend the whole time!!
It went great! Ryan helped me out in many ways, i have been trying to buy a snowboard for the last 10 days and he guided me through the whole process of buying it. When i had doubts he solved them, and at the end after reviewing lots of snowboard I finally came to a conclusion!!

Fun guy that really knows his Snow Stuff
Right off the bat, Ryan was super engaging and friendly. I kind’ve had this “Oh snap! I’m talking to a real person!” reaction. He was patient and eager to explain things to this noob. (Newbie) I really really appreciated his time and knowledge about snowboarding. He also definitely made sure to give me a good range of recommendations that made me feel that I can build my gear without breaking my bank.
Lastly, I really commend him for his honesty. He was transparent with the price of this hobby and also the risks in it. Overall this was a great and fun learning experience. Thanks Ryan!

Seriously helpful!!!
I was having trouble choosing a park board after quitting snowboarding for a while. It took days of back and fourth, but Ryan was responsive and super knowledgeable. He was patient with all of my questions and now I will soon be a proud owner of an Arbor Westmark Camber. Thanks Ryan!

Ryan knew his stuff.
I am an intermediate snowboarder and have been renting equipment for years. I finally graduated college and decided to splurge and get some new gear. Ryan was very helpful in making plans based on my budget and the experience level I was at, and also took into consideration the design ideas I wanted. Would order from him again!
